Can a damaged wheel be repaired? How can they be repaired?

In the course of our daily use of the car, the frequency of scuffed and damaged wheels is still very high. When a wheel is slightly damaged, the cost of replacing it with a new one is a bit high, while wheel repair is a good option when it is effective and reasonably priced.

So what is the usual classification of wheel damage? And what are the corresponding repair methods? Can all damage be repaired? Follow JWHEEL to learn more about this issue!

     

Generally speaking, there are three types of wheel damage

The damage to aluminium wheels is basically caused by external forces, and can be divided into three types.

# 1: Surface damage

Mainly due to abrasion and scuffing of the wheel surface.

#2: Wheel deformation

As the name suggests, the wheel is deformed, twisted and out of round under the action of external forces.

 

#3: Fracture damage

When a wheel is fractured and chipped to varying degrees after a strong impact.

How to repair these three types of damage

 

1. Surface damage repair

Common wheel damage is basically based on scratches and scuffs on the wheel, and the repair only treats the surface, which basically does not affect the original wheel structure and has little impact on the reliability and safety of the wheel.

 

2.Deformation repair

When a car wheel is subjected to collision or impact, it is easy to cause the bending and deformation of the wheel rim of the car wheel, which is a serious damage.

The general process for repairing this kind of damage is: deformation position detection - heating - correction - completion. However, the wheel hub is made of aluminium alloy, the material itself has relatively poor resistance to metal fatigue, and after deformation by external forces, it is forced back to its original state by external forces. Even if small cracks cannot be observed by the naked eye on the surface, from a scientific point of view, the metal structure here is completely different from that of a normal wheel hub.

 

Deformation of the wheel can cause vehicle deflection, abnormal bumps, steering wheel shaking, tyre leakage, abnormal tyre wear and other driving safety hazards, so if the wheel is seriously deformed, it is generally advisable to replace the wheel.

                    

3.  Broken wheel

This type of wheel damage is the most serious. Although a broken wheel can be repaired by welding, the safety performance is greatly reduced!

 

Therefore, if the wheel is broken, it is not recommended to repair it, it should be replaced directly, after all, the wheel belongs to the safety parts, the impact on safe driving is really too big.

  Jwheel, as an professional wheel manufacturer, concentrates in R&D and manufacturing of aluminum alloy wheels, including casting wheels, forging wheels and flow-form wheels. The products of it have passed the certifications of SEI、SEMA，VIA, JWL, JWL-T, TUV and so on. Since establishment, Jwheel has been developing steadily, with rich experience of designing and producing aluminum alloy wheels. It has earned the appreciation of both domestic market and foreign market with its high technology, good quality and customer service. It provided OEM service to many international brands like Vossen, OE Wheel, TSW, Rays, ProLine, Oxygen, AUTEC, etc., and it also provide ODM service, that is, for producing a new wheel, you can just provide a sketch, drawing or picture, and then Jwheel will finish the rest parts. By the way, the MOQ of forging wheels is four. (For more information, just go to the website: https://www.jjjwheel.com)
